knight_movesHaving been mind, ah, whammied by the Cleaners and missing a Batgirl, the Birds split up to attend to their various mystery boxes and backstories.

Hey kids, it's the Nu52: Birds of Prey 4
Jan. 27th, 2025 07:55 pmknight_movesLast time, the Birds of Prey got on a train to stop two Cleaner-adjacent people they thought might be able to explode due to trigger phrases. And Poison Ivy is there too, for reasons definitely having nothing to do with her being a popular character with a large, modern fanbase.

knight_movesThese issues are basically very long action sequences, so I'll do two at once, save some bandwidth.

Hey kids, it's the Nu52: Birds of Prey 1
Jan. 26th, 2025 12:04 amknight_movesLike anyone, I have a huge backlog of things to read, so let's knock Birds of Prey off the docket. It doesn't have that many issues, so this shouldn't take that long. And no analysis just yet: let's dive in.

As you may recall, the Punisher recently joined up with The Hand after they resurrected his wife. This is how it ended.

King in Black: The Black Knight #1

He has what every great character needs in spades: inner conflict. For me, the tragedy is that there have been so many attempts to say he's this, or he's that, and to fit him into these manufactured niches which often contradict each other, when there was a far simpler solution all along: You simply ask him to accept that he's a mess. -- Si Spurrier

Marvel Comics #1000
Sep. 25th, 2019 12:26 amlaughing_tree
There's so many threads in this mystery, so many different parts of Marvel you'll find secret connections. There's a lot of synchronicities and echoes in this, and threads between all of that, the big board. And I think what's going to happen is that readers, they won't have to go back and check the entire history of Marvel, but they're going to want to. -- Al Ewing

"I'm okay with a Doctor Strange who can do kind of whatever I need him to in a story. I just need him to have a good reason for doing it and I need there to be consequences for what he does, but I don't need to catalog his powers and spells down to the last detail." - Mark Waid

Doctor Strange #4

Westfield: What about the character of Stephen Strange appeals to you?
Mark Waid: That he’s a thinker. A learner. A man who's dedicated his life to personal betterment, only to have had to start again at the bottom more than once and rebuild himself.

Doctor Strange #3
Aug. 10th, 2018 01:12 amlaughing_tree
Here's the thing: Look, we always say "magic has a price" and we're always looking for a way to limit Doctor Strange's powers and so forth and so on. But I gotta tell ya, that doesn't always fly with me. What makes him limited is not interesting to me. It's what he does with his powers that makes him interesting to me. I understand putting some limitations on him, but I don't think comics are about characters who have to follow rules. They're about flying, right? They're about doing impossible things. I think the more rules and regulations we put on our characters... That's just my own personal opinion, but it doesn't wash for me. -- Mark Waid

Waid finds that “perpetual student” aspect to be one of Strange’s most compelling traits. “There’s not a day in his adult life that he hasn’t spent studying, be it medical texts or magical scrolls,” Waid remarked. -- CBR interview
